Chuck Nessa

Up for consideration. I agree and hope for other comments. More later when I have time.

Back after a short leave and (trying to catch up) sorry to see no responses. I'm about 15 years older and would enjoy a discussion on this very interesting time from folks "there at the time" and those viewing it from a "different time". I think there are more things different than similar.

Been out of town since noon Thursday noon and missed this. Sorry. May all the cards fall your way for a day or two.

I don't ever expect to see "that" drink. Good luck Connie.

So you'll sell it if she dies? I understand this is really ugly, but I could not resist. The message made me do it.

The storage issue (as I understand it) isn't the "metal" but the "security" of the "sealing surface". So, who knows 'til a bunch of them fail. I would not invest in them, but would make all kinds of copies.

They charge more, don't they?

There is so much wrong information in the Miles "bio" I would have doubts if he said "sun in the morning and the moon at night".

I didn't say expectations were "sane". Just said what I heard.

I heard "through the grapevine" they hope to sell 100,000 copies of this.

There is a "laid back" quality in this date I find very attractive.

Up. AMG's guide, as usual, provides little insight... I'm leaning towards picking it up, though. Even not-so-great Nelson is still enjoyable to these ears. ← I'm not a big fan of this recording (or much post Prestige Nelson), but isn't this supposed to be included in a future Mosaic Select?

I think Don Schlitten has most of the Bob Andrews stuff.

Interesting to me 'cause Vincent was the first "live" act I ever saw (Val-Air Ballroom, Des Moines sometime in the '50s) and the last "big" pop/rock concert I attended was Dylan and The Band in the Boston Garden circa 1973.

Never mind. This response is really depressing (for me). Marketing, not music. You are trying to sell music! ← Chuck the exact meaning and/or intent of your response is unclear to me. When I speak of demographic I am talkin' about whether people will make it out to the performance in light of the aforementioned "competition". But cheer up Chuck, we are presently still in debt up to our eyeballs and never did this to make a bundle. It was and will always be about the music first. Remember, I was a soc major in grad school, so 'demographic' (I believe that is the word that upset you) has it's less business like references for me. And I sincerely hope you realize that I was jokin' about 'smokin'' anybody. Do I sell? Hell yes, I sell the idea of a great band making great music. And I ain't lying. ←

Last time I listened to Burning Spirits I thought it was crap.

Listen to Ellington's "Immigration Blues" from 1926 (Decca set) and tell me Robinson didn't influence a shitload of tenors! Stump usually played alto.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Prince Robinson!

This response is really depressing (for me). Marketing, not music. You are trying to sell music!

...didn't he star in "Children of the Corn"??? m~ ← There ya' go - talkin' dirty again.

Did he make more recordings on organ (I mentioned the Bud Freeman date)? Bud told me "The producer told me he wanted to use this Greek pianist on organ and he turned out to be WONDERFUL".

I don't believe so.

The following are Xanadu lps - don't know if any made it to cd. 107 Joe Guy & Hot Lips Page "Trumpet Battle At Mintons" 112 "Harlem Odyssey" w/Billie Holiday, Jack Teagarden, Art Tatum, etc 123 "Sweets, Lips & Lots of Jazz" w/Edison, Page and Eldridge 186 Roy Eldridge "At Jerry Newman's"

Xanadus too.

I believe he spells it Brieff. He conducted the premier of the 5 movement version of Mahler's 1st symphony. It was with the New Haven Symphony and was issued on Odyssey.
